I got married

justrachel @justrachel (98) 21 Feb 08

On 14th Feb we had a lovely quiet wedding with just 1 close friend and 2 family members. We played Amy Winehouse "to know him" as we said our vows and then went for an Italian meal. It was what we wanted ...no stress and no family...

Amy Winehouse

justrachel @justrachel (98) 23 Jan 08

The British press have written about her drug fuelled antics and I am so fed up with seeing pictures of Amy in a stupor. I feel her lifestyle is being glamorised and her addiction is being sensationalised. I think this is wrong...

justrachel I also read that story. How sad lets hoe she can turn her life around before it's too late. I enjoy her music and I personally think she has a great talent.

Did you ever try or want to try to quit smoking?

singh_probin @singh_probin (71) • India 5 Feb 08

Many times I tried to quit smoking.. but did not succeeded. How about you? Now I don't even think about quitting 'cause a wise man had said that "It is very easy to quit smoking. I've have done it many times." :-D

Why are people mean?

nangel78 @nangel78 (1454) • United States 18 Oct 07

I have never understood why people go out of their way to be mean. What does it accomplish in the long run? What is the point? For example, my brother-in-law's girlfriend has decided to go out of her way to be inconsiderate...

justrachel I have found that if people are mean to you it is usually because they are jealous and have a low opinion of themselves. This is their problem not yours. I treat people how I would like to be treated.
